Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social helping to preview this year's Chinook Blast – Calgary's Winter Festival. He may be a self-proclaimed "winter wimp" (I don't believe it) but we agree that everything about Chinook Blast is so exciting. See you there starting Jan. 30.

On my way in to work this morning from Westbrook Station. Thank you, Calgary, for how we pulled together during the water main emergency.
We’re moving fast on the replacement pipe, aiming to do in 1 year what would normally take 4. I'm personally accountable. #yyccc
